Breaking barriers: Dalit (from Bihar) sets up software company

Thirty-one-year old Atul Paswan has successfully changed what many may have said was his destiny. A Dalit from Siwan district in Bihar three years ago, the village schoolteacher's son set up a software company in Bangalore.

Collected 30 pairs of pretty cool shoes - recycled!

Absolutely forgot to take a few pictures but the shoe bin was pretty much packed with around 30 pairs of well donated shoes from our programs a few weeks ago. We've been told that these shoes are going to be shredded into tiny pieces and use in sporting facilities.

Great turn out...thanks and we'll do it again!

Also, the Everest Peace Project yielded a little over $400 and Lance is very grateful to both the Nepalese and Tibetan communities and most of all, to our American friends, who too could attend our programs. Thuk-che.
